Sony Ericsson announced a brand new candy-bar shaped phone – the Sony Ericsson V640i in Europe. This time, Sony Ericsson chose to partner with Vodafone and the Sony Ericsson V640i will be available exclusively through Vodafone.

The Ericsson V640i will be available in two colors – Havana Gold and Quick Black. Features and specifications includes 2.0-inch LCD screen, MP3 player, high speed 3G (HSDPA) web browsing, 2.0 megapixel camera, pre-loaded Google Maps and eBay clients, and M-2 memory expansion slot.

Both Vodafone and Sony Ericsson are pretty proud of the capabilities of the V640i phone.

“The new V640i is a great all-rounder that is packed with advanced music capabilities,” says Peter Marsden, Vice President and Head of the Vodafone customer group at Sony Ericsson. “It’s designed to allow users to get the most from Vodafone’s music services, such as the Vodafone Music Store, without compromising on the ease-to-use and strong design that they expect from a Sony Ericsson.”
Jens Schulte-Bockum, Global Director, Terminals, Vodafone, said: “The new V640i from Sony Ericsson offers our customers a stylish, desirable and fashionable mobile device that does not compromise on music capability or performance. It’s a great balance of form and function.”
The Sony Ericsson V640i is available exclusively in Vodafone stores from Autumn 2007.
